Looks - Subtle Tropical Eye with Lavender, Spring Green, and Teal

Looks
Christine |

I’m trying REALLY hard to be creative with makeup, like I’m trying to go outside of my usual box (which is challenging in itself because I honestly like my box quite a lot!) at least a step or two (baby steps!). Anyway, upper lash liner again, though after seeing pics, it should extend a few millimeters more, but oh well.

I used Rollickin’ paint pot on lid, Parfait Amour eyeshadow all over lid, Juxt eyeshadow above inner crease/inner lid, Silver Ring eyeshadow on outer crease, Cinders eyeshadow on outer lid, A Bluer Blue eyeshadow above outer crease, Overgrown eyeshadow above inner and middle crease, White Tie eyeshadow on brow to highlight, Royal Wink fluidline on upper lash line with Parfait Amour eyeshadow patted over it, Overgrown eyeshadow on lower lash line, Blacktrack fluidline on lower lash line, and Plushblack plushlash mascara. I wore Don’t Be Shy blush with Lightly Lilac beauty powder on cheeks. I had Utter Pervette lipstick with Cult Fave lipglass with a touch of Totally It! lipglass on my lips.

I really love this! Kind of like a blue/green rainbow 🙂 I really love the use of Silver Ring in the combo too, I wouldn’t have thought to use it.

Thanks, Ariele! 🙂 I didn’t even think of it that way! I just kept having visions of a lavender lid with pastel green and teal last night, LOL. I’m so behind on laundry, I only had a gray shirt that I could find, so I was like, hmm, let’s throw a lil’ Silver Ring in there, too.

diggin’ the blue. the liner on top is really nice, and i love the lips too! i’d try that but i think it would be too pale for me (i’m NW20 on a good day LOL)

Just gorgeous! With your eye open, this reminds me of the beach! The sand is the highlighted area under the brow, then the shallow turquoise waters near the shore and the deeper blue/purple waters out to sea. I guess I really need a vacation 🙂

that’s hot! I don’t think i’ve ever done a look with so many colors. I’m going to try this “box” more often so I can get good at it. Keep em coming!

I really like your “usual” looks as well, but I have to say, I loove this one! So pretty and it makes your eyes look really intense.
How are your lids doing? Not getting irritated by the top liner, I hope?

Ouch!
Have you ever tried using a dark e/s to line your upper lashline?
I do this on most weekdays since I always run a little late.. :o(
But it works fine and creates a nice, softer line.

You are beautiful Christine and this is a great look. I’m gonna try to copy it (that is if I can make it to look as great as this)

Another great look Christine! You look like a gorgeous mermaid! You should have done the 80’s look challenge we (some of us bloggers) did recently, it’s never too late, I would love to see what you come up with! 🙂

I’m sorry but being creative requires a bit more than “going crazy with colours”. This would be considered too sloppy for runway. Creativity is comes naturally for some people and clearly not for you.

You should stick to your usual, that’s where your strength lies.

Hi Lana! I’m just a little confused… I wasn’t trying to do a runway look, this isn’t an attempt at the avant garde. I appreciate your criticism, but I think you misunderstood what I was trying to accomplish – just trying to switch up my usual technique and color placement.

whoa whoa whoa! What ever happened to if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all?

Anyways, I’m glad youre taking baby steps outside of your box and see what kind of color combinations you come up with! The colors are super pretty together and you look wonderful!

I would like to see Lana’s shot at “creativity”, apparently she never heard of that phrase “to each her own” or realizes that creativity comes from within and it’s different for everybody, if everyone was following the same sort of rule or guideline, then it wouldn’t be creativity. 🙂

Christine, this look is totally inspirational! I wish I had all of those colors to try them on myself! Over time, I’ll hopefully have your library of eye makeup =) Also — I think it’s a great idea to use the blue eyeliner… the blue creates an optical illusion that emphasizes the whites of your eyes. I have friends that use tinted blue mascara when they’re really tired, and instantly they look more awake. The same applies to blue-based lip glosses, as I’m sure you know =). Anyway, thanks for posting this look!

Question? Hope its not a stupid one, lol. How do you know what color lips go with what eye makeup? Like corals, pinks, reds, etc.

A very nice look. I’m absolutely loving it. You look so put together in this. The blue and green really bring out your eyes.

Stunning! I love the colour combination, especially the teal and blue together. 🙂 Not too sure what the above negative comment was about (there’s a difference between constructive and rude criticism–that was the latter) because you can pull off your regular looks AND these colourful ones, which ARE creative!

I loooove this look on you! You look so exotic and stunning! Can’t wait to try this look (though it won’t be as brilliantly done as yours, heh). I love the Royal Wink fluidline and the lip combos, they look FAB.

Love this look, Christine. I wonder why you didn’t outline lower lash with royal wink as well. It would look fab, IMHO.

A bit out of topic, would you suggest that I get rollickin’ given I have already have a turquoise shadow from Shu Uemura? How similar/different is rollickin’ vs. delft? Thanks a bunch!

Keep trying the out of the box. I can’t always copy the look but I sure love to see the transformation!

Hey Pia! I feel like when it’s heavy on both the top and bottom, it makes my eyes smaller. I did think about it though!

I like Rollickin’ because I only use it as a base, and in that capacity, you could get it even though you have shadows like it. Delft is darker and deeper in color, I’d say they’re different enough to have both. If you don’t wear a lot of teals or blues, you could pass on Rollickin’, though!

Thank you!
